You should contact the Taxpayer Services Division at (614) 995-4422. Please be prepared to provide the following information:

Corporation name and address

You will need the following identification numbers for the corporation:

Federal employer identification number (FEIN),

Ohio corporation charter or license number,

Ohio corporation franchise tax identification number.

You will need to provide the contact name, address and phone number of the person making the request and receiving the certificate. You may be required to submit form TBOR-1, Declaration of Tax Representative.

In order to issue the certificate, all corporation franchise taxes must be filed and paid up to date. These requests are handled on a first come, first served basis and for that reason may require several days to research. Once you have provided the above information, we ask that you allow 5-7 business days to receive either the certificate (if all taxes are found to be current) or correspondence with request for further information.
